TARGET or RANGE BALL 2 1/2" in diameter, overall diamond pattern
glass in a very light yellow / green color, rough sheared mouth on a unusually
long neck. Super mint condition! I have never seen another ball in a color like this. Very rare! These were used in wild west shows and shooting events in the
mid to late 1800's. Used before clay pigeons, a similar type holder was used to
throw the ball. They were filled with feathers or paper so the shooter and
audience knew when the ball was hit. This ball is empty. As one can only imagine, not
very many of these are left to collect . SOLD
2 3" in diameter & 2 3/4" long,
overall diamond pattern glass except for a 5/8" ring that runs around center of
ball. Has a flared, sheared lip. A wonderful lt. olive amber color! Embossed in
the ring that runs around center: " GLASHUTTEN DR. A. FRANK / CHARLOTTENBURG "
This is a German target ball. "glashutten" = "glass house" As above, these are
very rare and a limited number exist for collecting today. A crude uneven glass
ball. There are no problems with this piece at all. Mint condition!
$475.00
3 3" in diameter & 3 3/4" long, overall diamond pattern glass
except for a 1/2" ring that runs around center of ball. Has a very long neck and
sheared top. Very rare clear color glass! Embossed in the ring that runs around
center: " GRAFL. ZU SOLMS. / GLASFAB. ANDREASHUTTE " This is another
German target ball. As all of the above, these are very rare and a limited
number exist for collecting today, especially this ball! I believe that only a
handful of these exist. A nice ball in super mint condition. There are no
problems with this piece at all! SOLD!
